When Is Girl Scout Cookie Season?

Typically, Girl Scout cookies are sold between the months of January and April, and the annual fundraiser is always highly anticipated for good reason: the cookies are dang delicious. Although the specific dates aren't set in stone, the Girl Scouts of the USA has a handy tool on its website that allows you to check whether or not cookies are being sold in your area simply by typing in your zip code on its site. Of course, this feature isn't helpful as of now due to the in-person sales being suspended, but bookmark it if you'd like to use it in the future.
